Troy Billings is seventeen, overweight, and suicidal. Just as he's about to jump in front of a bus, he's saved by Marcus, a charming high school dropout/street musician. The two begin an uneasy friendship when Marcus enlists the musically challenged Troy to become the drummer in a new punk rock band. As Troys relationship with Marcus grows, Troy's father becomes increasingly concerned about his son's new friendship. © Pinnacle Films 2012 (Original Title: Fat Kid Rules The World)
